I snipped the tip from a nipple and he's taking slurry via the bottle. I'm slowly transitioning him to a bowl. He is hitting all of the benchmarks for his age (probably 5 weeks) except for size, despite having a good appetite. I kind of wonder if he was the runt and only survivor of a litter, which means he's a fighter, too

He is FINALLY learning what the litter box is for.
